Use Linux, uBlock, other Free Software. Change the operating system on my phone to LineageOS or GrapheneOS, get my Apps from F-Droid. Don't sign up everywhere with my real phone number and birthday.
(Regarding the original question: I'd say secure passwords and 2fa is more security than privacy?!)
Which one do you prefer and why? Has installing any of them caused banking or pay apps to stop working?
I don't use any "pay" apps. I got a card from my bank, I just use that to pay. So i don't know. But the banking app that generates tan codes, shows the balance and so on works fine.
I prefer GrapheneOS for my main phone. It just works and has sane default settings. On other devices I prefer LineageOS for microG. And i can root Lineage which is handy for development.
Custom ROMs will always be broken with selective bank apps, period. Best to not root or flash a ROM if you want to live your life instead of tinkering like a teenager.
